Attorney General Letitia James, in Albany on Wednesday for the state court system’s annual Law Day, said her office’s investigation of the National Rifle Association will “follow the facts and the evidence, wherever it takes me.”

The probe of the gun rights organization has led to an internal leadership struggle that resulted in its president, Oliver North, to not seek another term.

Reportedly, the group is under scrutiny for its relationship with an advertising firm, which has helped drive the public perception of the NRA over the last decade.

The relationship with the company, Ackerman McQueen, has come under criticism for its expenses as well as its relationship with North, a figure from the Iran-Contra scandal.

As attorney general, James has jurisdiction to investigate groups chartered in New York, like the NRA.

“We want to make sure that the NRA and any charitable organization that they comply with the not-for-profit law,” she said. “It’s important we underscore the point that no one is above the law, including powerful organizations like the NRA and powerful elected officials.”

Republicans and NRA supporters aren’t pleased, pointing to James last year calling the group a “terrorist organization” during the lead up to the election.

“This is a continuation with what seems to me a real concerted, governmental, and political effort to cripple or destroy the NRA,” said Sen. Robert Ortt, a Republican from western New York and an NRA member.
